A
We passed upon the stairs,
D
Spoken walls and wells,
A
Although I was a friend
F
Sat on walls astrand,
C
Which came as so surprised,
A D
I spoke into his eyes -- I thought you died alone
C
A long long time ago

(First chorus)

Oh no, not me,
C# C
We never lost control,

The face, to face,
C#
With the man who sold the world.

{ Play intro 6x }

A
I laughed and shook his hand,
D
Made my way back home,
A
I searched from farther land,
F
Years and years I roamed,
C
I gazed all gazers there,
A D
We walked a million hills -- I must have died alone,
C
A long long time ago.

(Second chorus)

Who knows, not me,
C# C
I never lost control,

Your face, to face,
C#
With the man who sold the world.
